An Evening with Gemma Cairney
As a young peoples ambassador, journalist and BBC Radio One's resident Agony Aunt on The Surgery, Gemma Cairney has distilled a range of advice on all the big, bad and beautiful things that growing up is all about.
With practical tips on virtually everything from family, mental health, body soul and first love, and lovingly illustrated by Aurelia Lange, Open: A Toolkit for How Magic and Messed Up Life Can Be is a fabulous resource to draw on any time you need advice.
